Pls can anyone help me im sooooo desperate. i just upgraded my fone via kies but after upgrade my fone is now blank, i cant use it anymore. pls hell. did i brick my fone??? can i bring it to life again??
You should try to reinstall the stock firmware. First see if you can get into download mode. Two ways, while your phone is off, hold down volume, the home button, and power button together till you get a yellow sign that has a digging android. If that don't work, other way is to take battery out, hold down volume, home button, and power together and reinsert the battery. Once you get to that stage, use Odin to reinstall your firmware.

shud all my apps be restored?? or back to square 1?
Well seeing as though you updated via kies, all your apps are deleted. I would just start fresh and back to stock. After that I would install a custom rom from the forums here, in my opinion, these rom makers do a great job making Roms that will make your phone be a phone and more

I wouldn't really say you bricked your phone. If you can get into download mode you are clear and your phone can come back to life. Just so you know.

Two choices return phone to Samsung saying broke under Kies update .
Or use recovery jig and flash stock firmware this is an unofficial method that will invalidate your warranty .

Sorry went to bed, just woke up. Anyways download the stock firmware for your phone. Make sure you download the right one. Meaning if you have the i9000M, download i9000M, or if you have i9000T, download i9000T. If you check behind your battery you'll.find your model. I don't think it really matters, I mean your just gonna flash another rom once your phone is back to life for sure. ;-)

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..
Sent from my captivate using XDA App
I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!
sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.
Hey guys need a little help here.

Flashback to 2.1 completed successfully? Which ODIN did u use? What keycombo are you trying
A jig might work but more likely you'll need JTAG. Same thing happened to my phone a week ago and I ended up shipping it off to connexion2005. This is a high risk when changing bootloaders (2.3 -> 2.2/2.1).

How far did you get before you f+4'd on your Apex attempt?
I'm guessing bootloaders the key role here. Also did you master clear before you flashed back to eclair, or just straight to odin?

it was the one that can solve 3 botton fix problem and if the system flash goes bad, it will save it back
Ok there's where the problem happened. That .tar only contains the sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) with no primary. So now you have a gingerbread primary and a froyo secondary resulting in a hard brick, you're only option now is jtag. Connexion2005 has already posted in this thread, pm him and he'll get you fixed up.

You might need Jtag service. BUT before you do that try making/buying a jig since that will be cheaper to check than just sending for Jtag

One thing I found after bricking my phone a few times is you might want to try download mode again. Have Odin running with a full stock rom loaded. Try the battery trick again. Plug your phone into the usb cable, making sure the battery is removed. Hold both volume buttons and insert your battery. Wait a minute while holding the volume buttons. While holding the volume buttons, keep pulling the battery out and putting it back in. Even though nothing shows up on the phone screen, once Odin did pick up the phone on com and I was able to flash it.
worth a shot. I was ready to send my my phone in for jtag, but persisted and got lucky.
If you flashed Gingerbread bootloaders, then flashed 3 button fix, you hard bricked it. Only way to revive it is with jtag.
anybody know anyone has jtag service in Los Angeles?
The captivate is one if the most difficult phones to jtag, and flute that reason, The only place I know of that can jtag a captivate is
mobiletechvideos.com.
So I recently made a thread how adb wasn't working and that evolved into not being able to get into download mode. Now after not being able to get into download mode for days, I'm still stuck on cm7 with no way of getting back to stock. 3-button recovery won't work, the only way to get into recovery is adb reboot recovery. No button and cable methods work to get phone into download mode as well as adb reboot download. I even recently tried http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c which is a makeshift usb jig. I successfully made it but it would only turn the phone on. WTF. I'm afraid to buy a real usb jig from online because it most likely will cause the same thing. What is there to do? I'm completely lost. The phone works, the rom is okay I just cannot get back to stock and get rid of cm7. There are lots of issues I need to fix and cannot because of this. Any ideas?????
EDIT: Now I'm completely f'ed. I tried flashing cm7 instead of MIUI again to try once more if I would have better luck on just cm7, but during flash in cwm the phone turned off because the battery compartment was loose and now the phone boots up and goes into recovery shows some code then turns off again
(This post just in case anyone missed the reason in the edit)
Reason: EDIT: FIXED! Don't know what happened. Rearranged resistors and tried again and finally got it

What's your process to get CM7/Miui installed?
On a side note, ADB won't connect to your device unless you have the Nexus S drivers installed on you computer when CM7/Miui is installed
When I was last on cm7 adb reboot download doesn't work.
Drivers installed
Just sayin
Sent from my unbrickable cappy *bam*
yeah, i distinctly remember the first CM7 build threads that came up here saying that adb reboot download DOES NOT work, and you DO need working 3 buttons or a jig
not sure why that was removed from the threads
A jig should work
You might be coming into contact with the resistors (I can't watch that youtube video from work--firewalled--so I don't know what the setup looks like). Any contact with the them will make it not work. Try insulating them more with some heavy packing tape.
I cut up my mini-usb plug from my car charger (didn't need it), and peeled off all the plastic so I could easily touch the correct two pins with the jig when the hacked up mini-usb is plugged in. Works like a charm. Sometimes if you aren't touching them just right, or if one end of the pin is touching the wrong point the power will come on.
Try harder with the jig, I guarantee you it will work (and you shouldn't have to buy one--it's too easy to do yourself for less than $2 and about 5 minutes).
Good luck!
Just a thought. Are you installing GB boot loaders before flashing CM7/Miui? If so, the way to get into Recovery/Download mode changes. Recovery is vol+/power, Download is Vol-/power.
Just thought I'd toss that out there...just in case

No download Mode after I897 GB Bootloaders on CM7
Hi there, i've got a question. If i can't get into download mode using the 3 button combination nor the Vol- + Power nor the connect+press buttons+insert baterry trick , do i have chance to get into download mode using the YIG? Thank you
I've lost the 3combo after installing the GB bootloaders with CM7 but the Odin Connection was lost on the SBL, The phone is not even Powering on anymore
If your phone has no signs of life at all, then sadly you are hard bricked...
But it can be fixed through jtag or the unbrickable mod.
So is there hope?

I don't think you need jtag (but you can look into it). If your phone is able to at least power on, you should be able to use a Jig to get it into download mode. That is what I did with mine when all the options fail.
good luck.

If the phone doesn't show any signs of life (wich it wont if he failed on sbl) Jtag or Unbrickable Mod would be your 2 best bet. (Id use Unbrickable mode since it will protect you from future issues.)
Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. My process for going to cm7/miui is flashing stock eclair through odin one click, then rooting and installing cwm. From there I just flash the latest nightly or whatever it is. Nothing I'm doing seems to be wrong
The problem is that I should be able to get into download mode without having to use a jig every single time. 3 button combo should work, but it doesn't when using cm7/miui for some reason
Well I had a problem, root days ago my Samsung Galaxy i897 (AT & T) Android 2.3.5 The root am not perfect, but after a few days stopped working. Try re-do the root and the installation stopped I had to remove the battery and slide back in the surprise was that the phone was with the yellow triangle, buy a USB JIG which is not served by the version of "boot loader" had to put oldest one ... I did then the Bootloader Changing the phone does not start does absolutely nothing Any help?
PD Sorry my bad English, Use Google Translate
If u have absolutely no signs of life, like when u plug it up to charge, etc., then u have hard bricked it and it can only be brought back to life through j-tag or unbrickable mod.
If u do have signs of life and you can get into download mode then you can flash a Stock Firmware (i897ucKK4 is the latest official release). If that works to get you up and going, you can use the [Utility] KK4 Easy Root by Red_81to get Root.

The cell phone does nothing, and to change the boot (that was what caused the problem) but to give the light button several hours after the battery gets hot (as if turned on) but the pc does not recognize it by placing the USB mode and also download anything served
PS So the solution would be a brick Full? :/
The solution or fix is in my previous post.
The problem seems to have been a bootloader flash gone bad. Flashing Bootloaders on the Captivate is one of the few real risky things to flash.
Do you recall what you flashed before the phone messed up ?? What bootloader or ??

Not sure why the Jig did not work, even with i897uckk4 android 2.3.5 ??
Anyway, sorry....it does sound like it is hard bricked. So like I said before, the only fix would be J-tag and/or Unbrickable Mod.
